摘　　要：Without any type of su rfactant or dispersing agent,precipitation polymerization has great superiorities in both polymer synthesis and applications.In the present work,the polymerization of vinyl chloride(VC),n-butyl acrylate(BA),and vinyl acetate(VAc)are conducted in the precipitation polymerization system and series of their random terpolymers poly(vinyl chloride-co-n-butyl acrylate-co-vinyl acetate)(PCBV)are synthesized successfully.The effects of various polymerization conditions,including solvent polarity,temperature,initiator concentration,and monomer feed ratios on the polymerization kinetics,number-average molecular weight(M_(n)),and terpolymer composition are investigated systematically.The solvent and the monomer feed ratio are crucial factors not only for the polymer morphology,but also for the reaction kinetic.In the non-polar solvent such as n-hexane,the PCBV displays particle morphology when the composition of BA ratio lower than 10 wt%.Otherwise,the PCBV forms a uniform polymer phase and precipitates out from the mixture.In the polar solvent,e.g.,dimethyl carbonate(DMC)and ethanol,the PCBV polymer maintains a slurry state either in low or in high monomer feed ratio.Impressively,VC based ternary copolymer that obtained in n-hexane has much lower M_(n)(<20 kDa)and much higher BA units mass fraction(>40 wt%)compared with emulsion and suspension polymerization.Additionally,the terpolymer can be easily sepa rated by simple centrifugation.
